Slew 12 - Peppermint Schnapps, and other bad ideas.

Slew 12 - The Show///

This past year SlewHQ managed to acquire 143 records recorded in 2011. Trying to come up with a list of favorites, let alone a true top ten list, proved to be difficult. I managed to ween things down to a top 40 but we didn’t think anyone would ever listen to a four hour podcast. To tighten things up I called names out from the shortlist and Chaz yelled “yes” or “no”. This episode of the Slewcast is the result. The order songs are played in no way reflects some sort of ranking. And for the record, in our opinion the top release of the year happens to be a tie between the Smart Cops LP and the Night Birds LP proving that hand claps and surf guitar are true equals.
